What an amazing result! The memory and talent of the late Robert Bailey, who was Pensford-born and bred, lives on.

Members of the Pensford Local History Group had a very successful stall at the Christmas Church Market at All Saints’ in Publow on Saturday, 4th December.

From over 150 paintings and drawings, on behalf of Robert’s family, they sold nearly 50% and, in doing so, generated an

incredible £1,091. These proceeds have been kindly donated by Robert’s son, Bill (and his siblings) and split between All Saints’ Church and the Pensford Local History Group.

The fact that many of Robert’s works of art now grace so many homes in Pensford and further afield is a wonderful testament to Robert and thanks go to everyone who purchased from us.

For anyone who missed this opportunity, it’s not too late and an updated catalogue can be found at: http://www.publow-with-pensford-pc.gov.uk/wp-content/PDF/bailey_catalogue_v02.pdf
